Little is known about the current health status of US metal and nonmetal (MNM) miners, in part because no health surveillance systems exist for this population. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is developing a program to characterize burden of disease among MNM miners. This report discusses current knowledge and potential data sources of MNM miner health. Recent national surveys were analyzed, and literature specific to MNM miner health status was reviewed. No robust estimates of disease prevalence were identified, and national surveys did not provide information specific to MNM miners. Because substantial gaps exist in the understanding of MNM miners' current health status, NIOSH plans to develop a health surveillance program for this population to guide intervention efforts to reduce occupational and personal risks for chronic illness.
目前对于美国金属和非金属（MNM）矿工的健康状况知之甚少，部分原因是该人群没有健康监测系统。美国国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）正在开展一项计划，以描述MNM矿工的疾病负担。本报告讨论了MNM矿工健康方面的现有知识和潜在数据来源。分析了近期的全国性调查，并查阅了有关MNM矿工健康状况的文献。未发现对疾病患病率的可靠估计，全国性调查也未提供针对MNM矿工的具体信息。由于在了解MNM矿工当前健康状况方面存在重大差距，NIOSH计划为该人群制定一项健康监测计划，以指导干预措施，降低慢性病的职业和个人风险。
